They floated this idea from some educrat professsor, at least a year ago, and everytime since then, when I mention this to sleeping Americans, they either look at me as if I just dropped in from Mars, or they laugh and state "that'll never happen!"

I don't know if even this will wake up the sleeping.

Sad.

Liberty was great while it lasted.

Didn't Jackamo Jackson come up with this idea back in the 80’s when he ran for president?

I would really, really doubt that outright theft would happen. Because at that point, politicians would start to swing from lampposts. Cranking the heat up too high, makes the frogs jump out of the pot.

No, instead I'd think that people would be "encouraged" to "voluntarily" join some sort of program along these lines. ....Oh, and incidentally (it's certainly nothing to concern yourself with, taxpayer), we'll make whatever system (401k, IRA, trusts, etc) you currently have completely untenable....

'Tis why the extremely hard push to convert everything to Roth IRA's makes me a bit nervous. I can see advantages to doing it in certain situations, but absolutely not for everyone (like many are proposing). Speaking for myself, I keep some $$$$ in a bunch of different places and tax structures. It's more complicated, and maybe wishful thinking. but I figure that DC can't get everything at once.

To those who laughed at you and stated “that’ll never happen,” look them in the face and SHOW THEM ON FREE REPUBLIC THAT IT IS HAPPENING.”

Get ANGRY and FIGHT to take back FREEDOM AND LIBERTY. There is no time to wonder if the sleeping Americans will wake up, or to lament over our loss of liberties...we must unite with like minded people and fight/stop this attempted communist/socialist/marxist takeover our of our country in any and all ways possible, starting with getting out the vote in NOVEMBER FOR CONSERVATIVES. We know the drill...now let us all get to work, and remember the sacrifice of our Forefathers and US soldiers of past wars...they didn't let US down, and we musn’t let each other down.
